"She's brought so much joy, and I love her to pieces," Richards told Us Weekly. "She loves being hugged and held. She's such a beautiful little baby and little soul."

Richards went on to talk about the difficulties involved in the adoption process.

"Some people think if a celebrity wants a baby, they get one the next day," Richards said. "The adoption took two years, and there were times I felt discouraged, times when I got close to adopting a baby and it fell through. But I knew the right baby would find us."
